    Chocolate ce cream on a waffle cone topped with whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry, this Recipe

    Chocolate by itself is delicious, but a deep chocolate ice cream satisfies chocolate and ice cream lovers both.  This ice cream is made with dark cocoa, unsweetened chocolate and semi sweet chocolate. Therefore, there is plenty of chocolate to give you that delicious chocolaty taste you want.

    Our ice cream uses a custard base, meaning we use egg yolks in our ice cream. This gives the ice cream a nice, thick, creamy taste.

    Making the ice cream:

    We set all the ingredients out so they are easy to grab.

    Chocolate ice cream ingredients

    To start,  we take the cream, milk, half and half, salt, and cocoa powder and put it into a saucepan. Then, it is mixed well with a whisk. The milk mixture should come to a hot temperature, but it shouldn't boil.

    Next, in a mixer, add the egg yolks and whip them till they become a lite color.

    When they are a lite color, add the sugar and whip until they become thick and a light yellow color.

    Now, it is time to temper the eggs. Add some of the hot chocolate milk mixture to the egg mixture a little at a time. When you have enough of the hot mixture added, both mixtures should be about the same temperature.

    You can now add the egg mixture back to the milk mixture in the pan and cook it until it coats the back of a metal spoon

    Now, it is time to add the rest of the chocolate to the mixture. Adding more chocolate, never enough chocolate.

    Now, add the vanilla and mix together.

    Strain the mixture through a strainer, just in case there are any cooked egg in the mixture. Probably not since the eggs were tempered, but it's better safe than sorry.

    Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, then put the base into an ice cream machine (following your ice cream maker's instructions).

    The ice cream is ready to eat, if you're a soft serve lover, but if you prefer hard ice cream, stick it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
